86 DR. ANNA PETROPOULOS During her youth, while visiting Greece with her family, Anna Petropoulos, MD, FRCS, was captivated by the beautiful statues and the lovely proportions of their faces and bodies at the museums she visited with her mother. Now, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and founder of The Center for Classic Beauty and The New England Facial Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Petropoulos carries with her those principles of harmony and natural, classic beauty in her industry- leading work with patients. "Even though I'm a facial plastic surgeon, my philosophy is to avoid surgery whenever possible, and focus on noninvasive treatments. I feel we are really blessed that in this age of technology, we have so many options," she says. "I can create very similar results or sometimes even better results than surgery by combining multiple different modalities . . . to give a wonderful appearance of youth, vibrancy, and staying natural!" WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE NORTH SHORE? On the North Shore there's an eclectic, diverse community, both with regard to people that live here, and also visitors! It offers wonderful recreational activities, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and beautiful natural escapes where you can go canoeing, kayaking, hiking, boating, and enjoy other fun opportunities. I think people are very welcoming and wholesome here. WHAT MAKES YOUR DAYS HAPPY? I feel so blessed by the presence and camaraderie of our patients. They are such wonderful people! For years, every three and a half months, patients have come to see me for their beauty maintenance treatments. I feel like we're one big family here on the North Shore. To have grown together over 22 years is just so precious and so special. To have beautiful relationships with my patients and to know that I've been able to help them on many different levels holds a special place in my heart. Not only do I help patients on the appearance level to look the best they possibly can, which gives them more pep in their step, but I also give them more self- confidence and this allows them to enjoy their lives more and feel more fulfilled on a spiritual level too. I have such an incredible team and I wouldn't have been able to achieve such a thriving and reputable center without them. Our Center for Classic Beauty is known far and wide for our treatments. Both nationally and internationally, our work is held in high esteem. I wouldn't have been able to do this without my amazing team. I love working with them and we have beautiful relationships. Our everyday life is very pleasant, even though we work hard. We're very supportive of each other. We're very supportive of our patients, and each of us has relationships with our patients. So, it's kind of like a little clubhouse. PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOEL BENJAMIN
